The book Writing Down the Bones transformed the way writing is viewed in this country. Come celebrate this groundbreaking book in a weekend workshop with author Natalie Goldberg, who guides us in ways to
- Build a strong writing spine
- Cultivate confidence in our experience
- Believe that we have something to say and a way to say it.
The way Natalie sees it, the value of writing practice is backed by a long lineage of human experience watching the mind. A writing practice is the foundation, whether you write—or want to write—essays, novels, memoir, office memos, or a letter to the editor. Come ready to trust your own mind and ready to write.
Note Bring a notebook and fast writing pens.
